 "Florida mayor bans Trump after Trump calls for Muslim ban")
A Florida mayor says he's banning Donald Trump from his city after the Republican presidential candidate called for the US to stop Muslims from entering the country.
Playing off of Trump's earlier words, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman tweeted yesterday that he was banning Trump "until we fully understand the dangerous threat posed by all Trumps."
The Tampa Bay Times reports the mayor's jab was retweeted more than 1,200 times in about an hour.
Trump said the ban should be implemented "until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses."
Trump's proposal was quickly condemned by other Republican and Democratic presidential candidates.
